How To Be A Hero - A My Hero Academy RP

Hironaka, Severa

_{First Impressions@NobodiesHero}

---

The opening ceremony was less pomp and pageantry than what Severa was expecting, especially considering the rather aristocratic architecture of this place. Just a few speeches by the leadership and everybody was released to do.. whatever they wanted. It was a horrible start to what seemed like a promising prospect. Kosei had a reputation for being more.. aggressive in their Hero training courses than the other academies, and if Severa was going to make up excessive aggression from the previous entrance exam, this was the place for it.

All throughout the introductory speeches, Severa's fiery red eyes lulled with boredom as she crossed her arms, zoning out as she thought up fantasy where she was praised as the number one hero. A bit ambitious but it was just where Severa was setting her mark as she knew she had a good quirk to do well. It was just a matter of proving it.

Severa's daydream ended shortly after the dismissal as everyone around her began moving around. It provided a good opportunity to try and identify some of the people here as anyone likely in her class will have been here by now. Though even her scan of her classmates was found to be lacking as Severa could have sworn a friend of hers would also be here. At least that brat said she would.

Aggravated but out of a stubborn resolve, Severa separated from the group of fresh students and headed for landmark to prop herself up against. In this instance, she found a clearing of landscaping and leaned up against one of the trees as she scanned the cluster of students, arms crossed as she stewed quietly in her quiet aggravation.

More to her annoyance, the new students took their time parting and heading off, most to the training facilities as that was probably the most significant part of this campus. As they did so, Severa's eyes followed an eager group making their way away, catching the distinct figure of someone sitting in proximity to her. Severa turned fully to see a scrawny four-eyes reading. He looked too young to be a part of the staff or even an upperclassmen. No, this was certainly a new student. "Tch!" Severa quietly scoffed turning her gaze back to thinning cluster of new students. ".. What? That confident in yourself that you're going to do well in the competitions or resigning yourself early?" Severa asked Four-Eyes, her mind only settling that people on her notion that people are here to compete and not necessarily anything else. Her tone wasn't mocking either, though her anger at other things was certainly present in her voice. As she was curious to why someone would be so lax at this time. She wouldn't admit it, but she certainly wasn't.

Hironaka Severa

[Appearance]

_{Height: 5'0" / 152.2cm
Weight: 109 lbs/ 49.44kg}

Name: Hironaka, Severa
Gender: Female
Age: 15

Personality:

Severa appears laid back at first glance and generally aloof, upon first introductions. Though she does aim to appear impressive and even admired by her peers. She generally seems like she doesn't care about much but there is one piece to the contrary. As it happens, Severa has plenty of buttons to push and as a result, is probably one of the more easier people to piss off. Although sometimes she is regretful for her short fuse but not all the time. There is an underlining sense of heroism in her, as she generally believes people should be honest and honorable, but sometimes she misses her mark when she is in a fit of rage.

Background:

Severa is the product of an accidental pregnancy between an American and a Japanese. It may sound unflattering but that was the realty as her mother hooked up with an American man while she was visiting the United States. Even though Severa was unplanned, her mother decided to carry the pregnancy to full term as Severa's mother met another man, a rich, foreign tycoon, who promised a happy life for both. The young family spent a lot of time traveling around and enjoying the satisfying life that wealth had brought them. That wasn't to say they didn't have their troubles. Severa had always been aware of her supposed father's indifference to her even though her mother told her "not to worry about it". It wasn't until later in life that she found out.

Though the circumstances were odd, Severa was not told anything until she was twelve, after pressing her mother excessively. Even then, she only knows the bare bones of that story. Still, it was enough of an impression for Severa to develop her attitude of resentment and bitterness towards her parents. This rebellious attitude kindled under the certain negative influences of a friend until finally they caught up to her. Due to a bit of maliciousness, she never passed her entry exam at her local hero institution and instead had to seek enrollment at Kosei. Though if you ask Severa, it was her first choice to come here due to the more aggressive means of advancement and experience.

Quirk:

Phantom Menace
Transformation Quirk. Severa has the ability to secrete a transparent but visible ethereal vaporous gas form (pictured below) that she can transfer her consciousness to, leaving her physical body behind. Being a gas, Severa can fly and float with relative ease, and being ethereal means that things that happen on a physical plane can no longer touch this form. Essentially, Severa can phase through walls and be unaffected by physical attacks. However, Severa can, provided she concentrates, bring her vaporous gas to the physical plane, allowing her to interact physical with things. Furthermore, Severa can grab an object or person and bring them back with her to the ethereal plane, meaning that thing or person will no longer be impacted by the physical world. The person or object is immediately returned to physical state once contact with Severa is broken.

There are limitations and a significant weakness to Severa's Quirk. There is a limit to the size and weight of an object she can't make ethereal. A rough estimate puts that limit at the average sized human. There is also no threat of death if someone was released in another object, like a wall. Instead, one would find themselves trapped. Severa's weakness is that her physical body is left behind and since her consciousness goes along with her vaporous form, her physical body is left as if it were a soulless wandering husk. Damage to Severa's physical body will also harm her vaporous form, at least she'll perceive it so.

There is another additional note about the Phantom Menace Quirk. It is that Severa must mutate (usually her hand as pictured above) in order to secrete the vaporous gas. This mutated flesh appears burned with crystals coming out of her skin. Though interesting to look at, it appears that mutation is simply a cause to the effect of the gas and in itself, appears entirely mundane.

Ghastly Form

Talents and Skills:

Severa's family is rich and lives rather well with no apparent sign of her being cut off. It is also because of this money that Severa had several private trainers to condition her for the whole hero career, so she is naturally in good shape and health for her age.

Kira Nomo

---

Almost everyday since since Kira turned twelve, she had been getting up at five in the morning in order to perform a routine workout to stay in shape for baseball. Things have changed since that time. The workouts had changed from conditioning, pitching and batting practice to strength and martial arts. Her father had fully embraced retirement and stopped waking up to help his daughter train. Kira suspected that he was still upset about her failure in following his footsteps, which was beginning to get a bit, well... tiring. It wasn't as if Kira could control the commission or rules, but still, her father found a way to psuedo-blame her for it.

Although Kira felt like she was growing apart from her father, there was at least something good to come from it. Kira and her mother had never really been to close since it was always her and her father. She was more of a background figure in her life, which Kira came to regret as she was getting to know her mother since her fall from baseball. Every morning Kira's mother would wake up at five, tidy the house a bit, and then prepare Kira a healthy breakfast. It was breakfast with mother and those moments would always be held in Kira's fondest memories.

This became Kira's new routine as she prepared for the inevitable call from the mysterious Tumble. She hadn't a clue when she might be called but better to be safe and prepared than not at all. In fact, Kira had a gym bag prepped ever since the evening of her acceptance, so when a call came at five-thirty in the morning, Kira had a feeling it was time.

Sure enough, her mother called her into the kitchen, told her who called, and offered her bag and a simple breakfast. Kira quickly ate most of it, gave her mother a hug, and departed with her mother's well wishes.

Kira followed her mother's instructions with a hint of skepticism. "Meet me at the Toshinori National Garden, beside the swings. I'll be the one in the sandbox." ... There was an explanation to follow, supposedly. The thought had briefly crossed Kira's mind that this was all some elaborate hoax, a joke at her expense, but this all strangely sounded right, like this was a test for something grander. No way of knowing until she was there.

She was dressed in dirty blue hoodie and plain looking sweats that concealed her shorts and a plain t-shirt. Her hood was up and her gym bag was thrown over her shoulder, looking the part of a serious early morning athlete. Kira had surprisingly arrived second to another. Upon arrival, Kira noticed a woman laying in the sand... Tumble? She assumed from the unflattering eccentric first impression but there was the other. A fellow student..? He looked fit, though a bit groggy and maybe a bit beyond that, worn out..? "Morning. Kira Nomo, ready for..." Kira stopped just before the sandbox and glanced down at the infamous Tumble, expressing slight bewilderment. "...anything, Tumble." Her tone trailing off in hesitation at the sight.

[APPEARANCE]

[NAME]

Kira Nomo

[GENDER]

Female

[AGE]

17 Years Old

[PERSONALITY]

If you were going to play to TV from a high school setting, Kira would play the part of the noble, friendly star quarterback. She is approachable and handles people with a smile and an air of friendliness but she still suffers from being a jock, resulting in more stubborn, thick-headed reactions. What’s more is that Kira’s prideful and anything short of a starter and anything akin to a challenge, she’ll be very likely to take offense.

[BACKSTORY]

When your famous, but retired, Major League Baseball player of a father wanted a son to follow his footsteps in baseball but you turned out to be a daughter, you should probably be ready to accept that you’ll have to play baseball. To Hideo Nomo’s surprise, his daughter was apparently destined for baseball. At a young age, she was capable of smashing the ball when batting and pitched a fastball with surprising heat that even caught Hideo off guard a few times.

To Kira, all the attention and praise from her father had really built her up and put baseball on a pedestal for her. She not only wanted to play, but she wanted to be the best as her father really fostered a competitive spirit in her. For most of her life, she revolved around baseball, scoring mediocre grades in school as a result, but she passed by enough. The important thing was, she was playing for the Juniors League, a division of very serious baseball players in Japan. If you did well in this league, you’d be signed onto the pros once you hit eighteen.

Kira had been playing the sport so well, many thought she’d end up playing Majors with the rest of men. However the MLB in the States has a very strict screening for quirks as they want to preserve the authenticity of the sport and not allow too strong of a quirk. When it was discovered that Kira had enhanced strength, she was barred from entry, much the dismay to her and her father. This meant that although Kira could compete in Japan, she couldn’t compete with the best. It was a huge blow to her competitive fire and she went on to play for a bit longer before retiring, no longer having the drive to continue. However it wasn’t all bad… Kira had heard some promising rumors of something forming that had use of quirks and hers had to be the best, right? ...

[QUIRK]

Rubber Muscle Overcharge - A mutation in Kira’s muscle fibers have resulted in them performing feats of increased strength, provided the right motion is performed. Firstly, Kira is incredibly flexible, appearing double jointed and almost rubbery when tested.

For example, she could rotate her forearm several times over, coiling her muscles and flesh around her radius and ulna bones. It is a conscious act to perform and theoretically, Kira is only limited to her own strength as the elastic tension caused by her own muscles will increase the amount of resistance. Once Kira relaxes and stops forcing her arm to twist, the muscles and skin will unwind using the elastic tension to return Kira’s arm to normal. By really stretching her limits of flexibility, Kira can extra force in tests of strength, like coiling her legs in a squat right before a jump to get added height or twisting her upper body several times over to spin like a violent top.

As the elastic tension increases, Kira’s flesh appears as if she had gotten a sunburn and eventually, steam will escape from her pores as some of the stored energy escapes through heat. Icing the muscles used in this way is recommended as the muscles will inflame from such usage. As an added effect, using this quirk requires a lot of calories and will cause quite a hunger.

Kira isn’t presently aware of her true strength and simply believes she has super strength. What she isn’t aware of, however, is that the motions in baseball have her stretch conveniently to use some of her quirk’s strength. When batting and pitching, she stretches her torso along her spine more so than she realizes, allowing her to get that extra ‘fire’ when up to bat or on the mound. Otherwise her athletics (ie running) are just above par with an average, healthy, twenty year old.

[SKILLS]

Baseball.
It takes more than just brute strength to play baseball well and Kira has the reflexes and focus to compete with the best of the Japanese Junior Professional League. Her strengths were obviously batting and pitching.

Rich.
Due to her father’s profession, he ended up with a lot of money before he retired. Kira never needed to worry about a problem that money could solve. More than that, Kira has quite a sum of money in her account because apparently being a mini-celebrity in the Juniors was enough for Kira to become a marketable figure for advertising agencies, though that attention has faded as Kira’s chance to play in the majors has been reduced to zero. Still, you might find Kira’s face on a poster for a kid’s shoe line out there.

[SAMPLE POST]

The letter addressed to Kira from Tumble had been sitting on her desk since this morning. It was now six in the evening as Kira had finished a nervous walk around the block. She didn’t know what her chances were with being accepted into Tumble’s Hero Agency. She had no knowledge of how they gauged quirks but surely, hers would be accepted… right? She does have super strength and didn’t All Might have the same thing? Of course she’d be accepted. All Might was a hero and she’d be a great one, maybe even a better one…

No, now wasn’t the time to get ahead of herself. One step at a time as dad always said. Fundamentals first and once you get those, start aiming higher. First step was opening this letter. In an instant, she reached out and grabbed the envelope, ripping it open before the envelope had even completely left the table. The letter was slightly ripped as it was extracted from its paper casing and Kira quickly devoured with her eyes the kanji printed on the paper.

Accepted. Of course. She knew it to be, but still, she found the idea of being a hero a bit frightening. It was a different game compared to baseball… ”Hey father! I made it! I got accepted!” Kira called from the office of her father’s house. She knew her father was right around the corner but heard only a faint grunt in response. He clearly was still down about his only daughter not being a baseball player. Despite that, she knew he would be happy for her. Now… how best to train...

[OTHERS]

Seeing as Kira has had difficulties utilizing her strength without a ball or bat in hand, she keeps a fancy bat with a fancy sheath with her, almost as if it were her sword.

Fallout New Vegas: Points of Divergence [Reboot]

@Aqutanama

I think you are looking too much into the "leveling system". There isn't one in here, necessarily. Tagged skills are essentially a method of calling attention to a character's strengths and perks offer something like a specific characteristic about character. So no, there aren't levels, but providing a character with an excess of tagged skills and perks will cause them to appear "higher level", which is a problem. I don't like the line "Then his stats and Bonuses would make him more like a raid boss than an actual character that I played.", because that's unnecessary. Bee has been providing the initial conflict and other player characters that fight each other can provide additional conflict. You are more than welcome to play an antagonistic character but keep in mind that your character will be at the same "level" as everyone else's.
